I have heard that escorts often are hired to just keep people company without any sex or intimacy at all.

[u/SaguaroCactuses → u/Redvelvet_dinosaur]

It’s way cheaper to get a therapist with your insurance if that’s what you’re looking for.

[u/TheSweetestKill → u/SaguaroCactuses]

Nothing more American than going to a sex worker to not have sex than going to therapy because nobody has healthcare and mental healthcare isn't even covered.

[u/KingOfTheYetis → u/TheSweetestKill]

A therapist is paid to help you get real about the shit you’re going through. Sounds like an escort is about living in a fantasy to escape the shit you have to deal with. Same cause, different treatments.

[u/Sonic_Is_Real → u/KingOfTheYetis]

Idk man, sometimes i already know problems and solutions, just want someone to be there non professionally

[u/Modare80 → u/Sonic_Is_Real]

Could be an element of with an escort, you know there is a possibility of taking it beyond that even if you never will. Could be more legit. As you said with a therapist, it's all business.

[u/freelancepsychic → u/TheSweetestKill]

Some cis hetero men don't understand emotions or feelings so they go to sex workers because they equate sex with love.

Edit: so many fragile men bothered by my comment

[u/ohhhshitwaitwhat → u/freelancepsychic]

Uhhhhh lol

[u/GorillaGandalf → u/freelancepsychic]

I bet you’re fun at parties.

[u/gomx → u/freelancepsychic]

Lots of humans have unhealthy understandings of emotions and intimacy. You really don’t know a single woman or gay guy with relationship issues?

[u/dak4f2 → u/freelancepsychic]

I think you're actually on to something here.

[u/Fofalus → u/freelancepsychic]

Tell me your sexist without saying your sexist.

[u/Norwegian__Blue → u/[deleted]]

Did you even know people don't have insurance?

[u/retroPencil → u/Norwegian__Blue]

My therapist is $180/session. Way more affordable than an escort.

Edit: price is before insurance.

[u/DrakonIL → u/retroPencil]

I imagine there's some areas where the ratio flips.

[u/bellbottomss → u/retroPencil]

That’s not “way more” than an escort lol you just have high standards for escorts

[u/BlueberryHandz → u/retroPencil]

Your therapist stays for an hour, and doesn’t even suck your dick…

[u/whitedan2 → u/BlueberryHandz]

and they call THAT therapy.... Morons....

[u/catitobandito → u/retroPencil]

Without insurance, sure

[u/retroPencil → u/catitobandito]

Yes, my price is without insurance.

[u/user_5554 → u/SaguaroCactuses]

Not gonna ask a therapist to listen to me going trough 600 lines of c code.

[u/Jbooth72 → u/user_5554]

When I first read this I though it said 600 lines of coke. I was like Lawd please lol

[u/user_5554 → u/Jbooth72]

Now that is a job for a therapist.

[u/Billy_Pilgrimunstuck → u/Jbooth72]

My insurance won't cover coke without a prior authorization from a formulary approved escort...

[u/TheLoneliestPoro → u/Billy_Pilgrimunstuck]

Better make sure the facility is in-network too.

[u/payne_train → u/user_5554]

If you’re programming in C I hope you already have a therapist on retainer.

[u/wozza365 → u/payne_train]

That therapist gonna be retiring at 40

[u/user_5554 → u/payne_train]

Only had to do a short project and yes I did have a therapist at the time lol

[u/Mulanisabamf → u/user_5554]

If it's for troubleshooting, I've heard that the Rubber Duck is a great help. Notr joking.

[u/DrakonIL → u/Mulanisabamf]

Rubber ducky, you're the one. You make debugging so much fun!

[u/user_5554 → u/Mulanisabamf]

Yea ik. I mostly just put three printf's between every line of code.

[u/frannyGin → u/SaguaroCactuses]

Therapists usually don't go to dinner with you. Maybe if you have anxiety related to restaurants but not to just talk casually.

[u/SlipperyPickle_ → u/frannyGin]

Yeah therapists are healthcare professionals, not your friend. This guy just wanted to spend time with someone as a friend.

[u/Lietenantdan → u/SaguaroCactuses]

My insurance doesn't cover therapy

[u/Modare80 → u/Lietenantdan]

Yours covers escorts? I need on that plan

[u/Lietenantdan → u/Modare80]

Haha no it doesn't cover that either

[u/nuublarg → u/Lietenantdan]

My insurance is non-existent.

[u/justahumblecow → u/SaguaroCactuses]

Therapists aren't there to just make you feel better

They're supposed to actually help you find solutions for your problems

It's entirely possible the guy mentioned in the post did have a therapist who suggested he try practicing talking to people by talking with someone who he trusts not to get frustrated with him.

And he didn't have anyone like that in his life, so he hired someone.

[u/Babybutt123 → u/SaguaroCactuses]

Definitely is. When I was dancing, I often thought I was a really expensive, unlicenced therapist.
